Gene Summary

This gene is an oncogene that encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm and can activate both the MAP kinase and JNK kinase pathways. This protein was shown to activate IkappaB kinases, and thus induce the nuclear production of NF-kappaB. This protein was also found to promote the production of TNF-alpha and IL-2 during T lymphocyte activation. This gene may also utilize a downstream in-frame translation start codon, and thus produce an isoform containing a shorter N-terminus. The shorter isoform has been shown to display weaker transforming activity. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

Melanocytic tumors with MAP3K8 fusions: report of 33 cases with morphological-genetic correlations

Melanocytic tumors have been shown to harbor a diverse range of oncogenic kinase fusions, which tend to occur exclusively of one another. A novel MAP3K8 fusion was recently identified in a cohort of spitzoid tumors. This study expanded on the genetic and clinical profile of this new subtype via RNA sequencing, IHC, array CGH, and FISH analysis of 33 MAP3K8-fused spitzoid neoplasms. Our MAP3K8 break apart FISH probe was used to detect MAP3K8 rearrangements.
